➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Blue Raptor]

This is great! I've never had quail before but obviously they are worthwhile!

There are 5 chicks out now. The first one is really friendly. It's always looking up at me, and when I put my hand in to tap at the food it runs up to me and climb sunder my hand. It's in with 3 other chicks and they're not cold, so I guess this one really wants a mama.

Uh oh. With my luck that one would be a roo and I would be the one imprinted.

My first ones just hatched too! It’s definitely a baby from one of your hens you sold me! Super cute!

I have 14 out so far. One poked a hole in the egg and hit a vein. I think it bled out. :-(

Look, @Kiki 3 yellers so far!

No way! It's a yellow baller?

One of them is a boy. I just heard a squeaky crow.

My eggos finally started hatching yesterday! We've got 10 in the brooder right now and another 3 in the incubator still drying off, with a few more still working at their shells. Pretty sure we placed about 24 eggs, so I'm happy with these numbers so far.

My favorite is the darker/almost orangish with stripes one that's slightly above the big gaggle in the above picture. My second favorite is the darkest one that's still in the incubator:

I wish there was a comprehensive picture guide available somewhere of what chicks -> adult growth looked like, though. I'm super interested in knowing what these babies will look like all grown up!

And the number grows...
